Sunday March 16: Baggage: “People” Matthew 5:43-48

By Bill Flavin, Lead Pastor

We live in an angry world.  Many news outlets share a little bit of news and a lot of commentary about the bad guys, the people who you should be afraid of, or mad at.  Much of our digital and now public dialogue takes on an aggressive, forceful tone. We are told to take a stand, to make our views known, to defend whatever it is we are to defend.  Yet Jesus invites us to love our enemies.  To love and forgive those who are different than us, and even challenges us that if we are not able to do that, we are no better than our enemies.

Easter Sunday April 20: “Transformation Sunday” Luke 17:11-19

Easter is this watershed day for Christians to remember. The day Jesus overcame the power of death, the day he changed our relationship with God, and each other. So often the good news of Easter focuses on heaven (as it should), but leaves out the fact that the news of Jesus’ death and resurrection embolden his disciples to change how they were living that very day.

Palm Sunday April 13: “Who Is Jesus” Luke 19:28-40

Who is Jesus? Books, lectures, and more try to answer this question in so many ways. The crowds struggled with it, his disciples struggled with it, and the religious leaders of the day did too. On Palm Sunday, some of how Jesus entered Jerusalem and responded to the crowds helps us to get a picture of who Jesus was, and what his mission in this world was focused on.
